Behind the Six Finger Films lens

We make films. Or movies. Flicks, talkies, whatever you want to call them. Our clients range from high-end megacorporations to independent startups, from musicians doing videos to our own selves thrown in every now and again to make a (award-winning) labor of love. Six Finger Films is a full service film/video production house. We pretty much handle everything but set catering (trust us, it’s for the best). We live in San Francisco; we work anywhere and everywhere. Take a look at our work and give us a shout.

I was catching up on my Ted Hope Reading this weekend with the hopes of catching a glimpse of the doom and gloom scenario of the American Indie Film System and low and behold the man did not disappoint. I found this blog post on his website about the difficulty of casting an Indie Film. It […]

Lately we’ve been applying to film festivals with our latest film, Smoke and Mirrors. It strikes me that there are two inherent issues in the submission process that cause a great deal of frustration. The first issue is out of the festival’s control, and falls squarely on an online service called Without a Box. One […]

This year we had the pleasure of producing the trailer for the 12th Annual Santa Cruz Film Festival. I have watched Santa Cruz grow and change over the last 30 years and I recently had the great pleasure of taking up residency here again. It’s hard for me to believe how much it’s changed in […]

Over the last 4 months we’ve had the great opportunity to work on this series of Bios for the Sailors of ORACLE TEAM USA. It has been such a pleasure getting to learn more about the guys that man these incredible feats of Engineering and the interests and histories that drive them. My favorite piece […]
